Aw. I'm sad you didn't like a lot of this episode, cos it all made perfect sense to me and I was really happy Cas was revealing his interest in human desire experiences. I thought it WAS in character and was happy to have canonical proof that Cas is unhappy with the war in Heaven and wants to be back on Earth more and doing all the stuff he started to learn about last season but never got the chance to properly explore (like kissing, for example :p)
I get what you mean about the last scene, it was a little sudden. But that's how this show has always worked with that kind of thing. Dean is a very closed off kind of man, when he gets emotional he does it suddenly and without warning a lot of the time, just blurting out emotional stuff he's been keeping under wraps. Like when he came clean about his time in Hell and stuff. So it worked for me that he'd suddenly start blurting out stuff about Cas being a friend after a life threatening situation, because it would have been too embarrassing for him to come at it slow and in a less charged moment.
Personally, I would have liked if Cas was a little less forgiving of Dean and been a bit huffy and 'yes, it's about time you care about the war I'm fighting!' but it seems the show's moved Cas past that kind of anger and into weariness. Which I guess you can argue was needed as something for Dean to respond to in order to prompt him to sympathise with Cas and acknowledge that Cas is going through something big and that they should be a bit more caring about it.
IDK. I just didn't find it as OOC as all that. It all worked me.
